Sometimes Solving Your Own Problem Can Also Make You $184K

As an entrepreneur, being your own customer gives you a special advantage through an intimate understanding of their pain points. And in many cases, it's what leads to the eureka! moment of a solid product idea.

Danielle Pettifor became an entrepreneur when she started doing crossfit to get into shape and ended up inventing HandBand Pro, a product that protects crossfit athletes from ripped hands—making over $184,000 in the process.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why you might not want to obsess over the numbers you're hitting every day.
• Why the best plan is oftentimes to plan less and do more.
• How she used Facebook groups to get her first sales.
